Final comment:
Polishing this 6 year-old map of mine took a while, so I would really appreciate some feedback.
I plan on releasing more updates, with the main goal of remaking the spawn system which is the main feature slowing down the game.
It does display a text
And 2.8 is being uploaded right now with the bug fix.
Full changelog :
Slot 2 can now be an AI player
Trebuchet's HP reduced to 1000
Trebuchets will no longer be resurrected
Fixed AI bugs
Optimized the map
Fixed a bug which would revive heroes invulnerable
Fixed some cameras
ummm... i just played 2.7 (dled it before 2.8 came up).
my hero didn't respawn =/ i was around lvl 12 and after like 5 mins still no respawn... my hero was Elementalist, if it matters
dunno if u fixed in 2.8 or not
for some reason when we are playing the newer versions people dont revive... but i (host) do... i now only host 1.19 cuz thats the newest one i have that doesnt have this (i havent tried 1.2-1.27)
I tested.
1.When I saw loading screen, I thought it was a girl....
2.I cant see portrait of the heroes!
3.Lot of bad icons for the spells.
4.Spell arent so balanced!
5.Phoenix always can fly!Angle even have spell for that.xD
6.Some spells doesnt fit that hero!
I think thats all!
P.S. Priestess can be Blood Elf..... -_-"
this map is very good but the dissadvantage of this is you need a very good graphic card for this, unlike the defense of uthragon which runs very smooth

Well, there are a few bugs and imblances I found when testing it with my brother:
portraits won't show (i know you know this but i felt like putting it here)
captain a little imbalanced imo he can easily take on a hero because of his high damage and hps. the only way to kill him is to bring him to a large group of units which isn't always possible if a melee hero is ahead of the group
when kael spawns he is invulnerable and just kills every body
imo it's a little op that the phoenix can fly
maybe add an abilty with a cooldown to boost the defese of the defenders i.e. the horn in the Defense of Uthragon
we died on easy ( probably because of the kael bug)
Maybe try adding more special events to spice up the action.
3/5 and +rep cus i can
That was in the previous versions, but eventually removed due to balance issues.
Kael will be fixed, the captain will not however be balanced in any way. He is supposed to be a challenge to the defenders.
The portraits can sadly not be fixed.
Thanks for testing!
edit: Updated 4.2b, kael is no longer invulnerable.
The only way to make a really good looking and realistic looking castle would be to use blizzard cliffs in this case, so really it's not random.
Also why didn't you rate it 4/5?
I was lazy to create 10 pages long wall of text but this should give you small hint, check pictures by numbers.
___________________________________________________________
90% of all other triggers can be optimized as well.
Try to link actions for same events.
Also that multiboard icon is terrible.
Just store heroes into hashtables.
set udg_id = LoadInteger(udg_hash, GetUnitTypeId( GetSpellTargetUnit() ) , X1)
set udg_player = GetOwningPlayer( GetTriggerUnit() )
set udg_hero[Player_number] = CreateUnit( udg_player , id , X coordinate, Y coordinate, ANGLE )
then just set multiboard icon into udg_temp_string
with hashtables you are limitless
I used jass above to make it more beautiful and readable.
X1 is integer and can be anything, X2 can be X1 + 1 I usually go from 0/1/2...
___________________________________________________________
Terrain is ok, but I suggest more things that can be DESTROYED.
Walls can be improved (pictures).
___________________________________________________________
Hero pick show some broken code when you click on some heroes -> |c7c8as69 TEXT.
Well that's it more or less.
I liked gameplay in general, maybe some better spell effects, GIANT is horrible really ^_^
Castle is so much better in this map than the previous. But middle and right bottom regen and mage special events dont work(their tips gone too).
As well as the champions ultimate doesnt heal. But i am getting suspicious that you may have built another map rather than updating this(again).
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) owned by Player 1 (Red)) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
((Picked unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
Then - Actions
Set Heroes[1] = (Picked unit)
Else - Actions
// This 5 times o.O
->
Set Heroes[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Target unit of ability being cast)
More will come
EDIT:
Hero revive is poor.
This script will replace your current triggers related to hero revive:
JASS:
library HeroReviveLib initializer Init
globals
private timer array T
private unit array U
endglobals
private function GetTimerId takes timer t returns integer i
local integer i = 0
loop
exitwhen i>12
if t == T[i] then
return i
endif
set i=i+1
endloop
return 99
endfunction
private function DoRevive takes nothing returns nothing
local unit u = U[GetTimerId(GetExpiredTimer())]
local player p = GetOwningPlayer(u)
call DisplayTextToPlayer(p, 0,0,"Your Hero has revived!" )
call DisplayCineFilter(false)
call ReviveHero( u, GetRectCenterX(gg_rct_R__gion_030), GetRectCenterY(gg_rct_R__gion_030), true )
call SetUnitInvulnerable( u, false )
if GetLocalPlayer() == p then
call CameraSetupApplyForceDuration(gg_cam_Camera_001, true, 0)
call SelectUnit(u, true)
endif
set u = null
set p = null
endfunction
private function Run takes nothing returns nothing
local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
local player p = GetOwningPlayer(u)
if IsUnitType(u, UNIT_TYPE_HERO) then
call DisplayTextToPlayer( p,0,0, "Your Hero has died! Do not worry, he will revive in no time near the Fountain!" )
call TimerStart(T[GetPlayerId(p)], 5.00 * I2R(GetHeroLevel(u)), false, function DoRevive)
endif
set U[GetPlayerId(p)] = u
set u = null
set p = null
endfunction
private function Init takes nothing returns nothing
local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
local integer i = 0
loop
exitwhen i>12
set T[i] = CreateTimer()
call TriggerRegisterPlayerUnitEvent(t, Player(i), EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_DEATH, null)
set i=i+1
endloop
call TriggerAddAction( t, function Run )
endfunction
endlibrary
good map very detailed the terrain suits the game but the thing is it's just like another ordinary castle defense and right now there are lots of ordinary castle defense type of game you should put more BAZINGA something like that
This keep getting better, kael. Nice job! Played 4.6 and its quite good. Again, nice terrain for a castle. Some suggestion, maybe add some horses here in-game that is available for mounting. When hero is mounted on the unit, it will increase its attack speed but disabled attack. More better if it shows the hero while mounted. And maybe Optional quests? That's all, +REP and good luck with this!
Ey Vengeancekael hii your map is super fun!
Your map I passed it a year ago in the normal difucultad or something like that it became quite easy and short.
I'll pass your map on the biggest difficulty so once I pass I give you your deserved score...
Keep updating when you have time.
